With baby number three on the way, my mind had to wander to the construction of a raglan version of the Maiah Wrap-around cardigan. Carrying the same simplicity that garter stitch offers but including the added detail of the knit stitch raglan line, it seemed just fit to welcome another member of the family.

With 4,5 mm needles, all in garter stitch, it’s the perfect project for a beginner knitter. It’s also easy and fast for an experienced knitter who wants to put something cute and warm together for a wee one in not too much time.
